I was doing some SharePoint mentoring a while back and I noticed that some developers don’t know about a couple handy items found in various context menus that that I use on a daily basis. Specifically I’m talking about a few things in the context...

Lots of things have changed in Enterprise Search and the CoreResultsWebPart is no exception. Of course, I’ve already mentioned that you can override certain methods now to affect how queries execute. A number of options have moved around and...

I had the honor of being the first speaker at the new OKC SharePoint Users Group ( OKCSUG ) last night. Wendy Schopf did a great job organizing the location and event and there was a pretty decent turnout. I’m very excited to see the SharePoint...

Since I’m talking about Enterprise Search tonight at OKCSUG , I thought I would write up a quick post on the steps you need to follow in order to get People Search working in SharePoint 2010. The critical piece of course is getting the User Profile...

It’s spring break and I wasn’t going to make any blog posts this week, but I just ran across this post ( http://www.markvanaalst.com/custom-field/using-jquery-in-custom-fields/ ) from Mark van Aalst concerning using jQuery in Sitecore’s content editor...

I can’t tell you how many SharePoint ECM projects I have seen where there has been a requirement to upload a document somewhere and then move it somewhere else based upon metadata or other criteria. People have written a good amount of code in the...

For the last few weeks, I have been working on a project to customize Able Commerce 7.0.4. When I started on this project, I had never seen Able before and certainly had no idea about the right way to go about doing some of these customizations. Over...

One common thing people have asked for in the MSDN Search Forums a lot (besides the obvious things like wildcard search) is the ability to get results that contain just documents. In this case, people just want documents, no list items or folders...

You might have seen my last post on People Search and were so excited to try it out only to find that you only have a Basic Search Center template available or the search center you have already created doesn’t have a People tab. By default, on...

Maybe you hadn’t noticed, but talking about Search is my favorite topic in SharePoint (with ECM closely following it). :) This is why I am so excited about the new features we are seeing in Enterprise Search. Wildcards and built in refinement...

This is kind of a weird one so I thought it was definitely worth posting. Recently we were doing some integration testing where an external application was linking directly to specific folders. The users would then upload a document in that...

Ok, so the title may be overly dramatic, but the BCS is really freaking cool now. With SharePoint 2010 just around the corner, now is the time to start learning how you can leverage it. I’ll be talking about the Business Connectivity Services...

When it comes to SharePoint deployments, I try to automate everything I can. I don’t like manual steps especially when it comes to setting up security. A common task when deploying any sites is setting up security in some manner. Today...
